INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SETUP
1. Positive Welding Terminal
Positive Welding Terminal. Welding current flows from the Power Source via heavy duty bayonet type
terminals. It is essential, however, that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound
electrical connection.
2. 8 Pin Control Socket
The 8 pin receptacle is used to connect a trigger switch or remote control to the welding Power Source
circuitry:
To make connections, align keyway, insert plug, and rotate threaded collar fully clockwise. The socket
information is included in the event the supplied cable is not suitable and it is necessary to wire a plug or
cable to interface with the 8 pin receptacle.

3. Negative Welding Terminal
Negative Welding Terminal. Welding current flows from the Power Source via heavy duty bayonet type
terminals. It is essential, however, that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound
electrical connection
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the
terminal.
4. Shielding Gas Outlet
The Shielding Gas Outlet located on the front panel is a 5/8-18 UNF female gas fitting and is utilised for
the connection of a suitable TIG Torch.
5. Power ON Indicator
The POWER ON indicator illuminates when the ON/OFF switch (20) is in the ON position and the correct
mains voltage is present.
6. Fault Indicator (Thermal Overload or Primary Circuit Overcurrent)
The Fault Indicator will illuminate in conjunction with an “Err 001” displayed on the ammeter and voltmeter
digital displays if either of the following two conditions exists
